925. Demand Something in Return; Cooperation! (2)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

After listening to her words, Ling Jingxuan pondered for a while and put forward a different opinion. Fan Changle smiled bitterly and said, "As you said, what my father wants is only a marriage with the Yao family, and it doesn't matter which daughter. Changyu is always the eldest legitimate son, not the head of the family. If our father acquiesces in it, even if he finds it, he can't do anything. Moreover, if our stepmother and others make up a story like I eloped with someone or what, they would totally give up on me. Daughter is just a money-losing proposition in any big family. As for the Yao family, I don't think Yao Shunxi is in the same group with them. I... you know, Nanjiang is different from the central plain. There is no such absolute boundary between men and women. I can't say that we often meet, but we are quite familiar with each other and made commitment to each other. Having been doing business for so many years, I still have some ability to read people. He is not that kind of person."

At last, Fan Changle's pale face turned a little blushed. For the elders of the two families, their marriage was just the cooperation of two families, but for her and Yao Shunxi, they got married because they liked each other. She believed that he would not let her down.

"Really?"

Ling Jingxuan rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. If Yao Shunxi really didn't know, then the plan of the mother and daughter would be obvious. As long as the sedan chair entered the gate of the Yao family, a woman's name would be determined. No matter whether Yao Shunxi found out that his bride had been swopped on his wedding night, once he slept with her, he had to admit her and take the responsibility. What good calculation! Unfortunately, they never knew that Fan Changle survived!

"Then what are you going to do next?"

With an evil smile curved at his lips, Ling Jingxuan blinked his eyes and withdrew the series of calculations. He'd like to see if this woman was worth his help.

"Of course to take back everything that belongs to me!"

Fan Changle blurted out without thinking, but her face looked complicated. Though she said so, the wedding would be held tomorrow, and she would definitely not be able to make it back to the Fan family now. If she made a scene at the wedding, it would damage the reputation of that woman. By that time, she would probably have to serve the same husband with her younger sister. No! Never!

"Hehe... In fact, it's not that difficult to get everything back. But I don't like doing a free job. Miss Fan, you are a smart woman. You should know what I want, right?"

Ling Jingxuan saw through her mind at a glance. He leaned back against Yan Shengrui's chest lazily and stared at her with his slightly narrowed eyes. If he performed this thing well, it might be twice the result with half the effort to smash the four big families in the future.

"You want the Yao family?"

It had to be said that women who had been in the business circle all year round were really smart. However, with a mocking smile, Ling Jingxuan said, "I totally don't put the Yao family in my eyes at all. I want you to promise me that some day in the future, when I need help, even to overturn the Yao family, you shall try your best to help me!"

The fortune of the Yao family might be attractive to others, but to him, it was just a string of numbers. What he wanted was to completely conquer them!

"Who on earth are you?"

Fan Changle stared at him with burning eyes. He gave her a strange feeling.

Sometimes he was gentle, sometimes dangerous, and sometimes calculating. In her memory, neither the Fan family nor the Yao family had ever had any contact with such kind of person.
